Longaniza Rolls

A dish inspired from the popular sausage rolls adding a Filipino twist to the recipe. For those who do not know what a sausage roll is, it is a type of savoury pastry where sausage meat is encased in a puff pastry, it originated in United Kingdom and now a very popular food item in Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Netherlands.

For this recipe we will be using longaniza which is a type of sausage popular in the Philippines. Like German sausages, longaniza’s ingredients varies depending on what region in the Philippines it came from, some can be salty and some are sweet but for this recipe we will be using the Vigan version which is garlicky but we will mix it with some minced pork as this sometimes tend to be salty.

Garlicky style + sausage roll? you just managed to make something delicious and make it divine! A crisp flaky melt in your mouth buttery pastry with a garlic treat inside? oooohhhhhhhh … there is danger of drool on the keyboard here. I have no clue if I can source longaniza here:. any chance of a recipe so that I might make my own? Clearly a mix of meat, garlic and probably spices and something to bind it all. I can see THIS on our menu as we are already busy making sausage rolls a treat here.a few times a year. A garlic version would be very much welcome!

Now that I see you roll the whole pastry sheet and then cut it into pieces, I wonder why I have always bothered to cut it first and make small rolls one by one… Your method gives neater results and is much easier! (Although I wouldn’t have access to longaniza of course!). Thanks for sharing!
